CASTER-BOTTLE HOLDER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,840, dated September 5, 1865.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALONZO E.YYoUNG, of Dorchesteigin the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Manufacture of Glass Caster or Caster-Bottle Holder; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the i'ollowingspecication and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figuie lis a top View, Fig. 2 a bottom view, and Fig. 3 a transverse section7 of one of my improved bottle-holders.

Vhen used it constitutes that part of a common tablecaster which serves to support the bottles thereof. It is made of glass and in one piece, and formed by pressurein a mold.

In the said dra-Wings, c a a denote a series ot' cups, connected with a circular plate, b, and arranged at equal distances apart about its center. Each of such cups opensthrough the plate and extends below it in a manner as ex hibited in Figs. 2 and 3. A concave ange or rim, e, projects from the circumference of the plate downward, and serves not only to give strength to the plate, but to hidefrom observation, under ordinary circumstances, such parts of the cups as project below the plate. Through the center of the connection-plate there is a hole, d, for receiving the journal on which the bottle-holder is to revolve when applied to its stand.

I do not herein claim a glass caster-bottle holder made with cups and in one piece of glass and with a flange around to extend down from its periphery; but

What I do claim as my invention is- The improved manufacture of glass caster bottle holder, made not only with a disk or plate and a ange to extend around and project below such disk, but with cups to open out of and extend below the disk in manner as specified, the flange under such circumstances serving to hide the cups moreorlessfrorn View when the article may be in use with its stand on a table.
